re: Is it possible to change your handwriting as an adult?

I got As in handwriting in 4th grade, now I can't even read what I wrote. Good thing I can still remember what I wrote.

I just have my secretary type everything I need then I just have to sign it.

I'm 50 and if I write something down, my handwriting is so bad that if I try to read whatever I wrote down I usually can't decipher it.

my normal handwriting is terrible. but if i tilt my letters to the right it looks halfway decent.

my son has to write in cursive at school. what a waste of frickin time.

I remember teachers saying once you get to college everything is written in cursive. bullshite, I have written in print since I got outta high school

I hand write reports in the field, and transfer to electronic when I get back in the office. It’s atrocious if I’m jotting, but, legible if I’m taking the time. My wife and I split thank you cards for our wedding. I think most people just read the front of the card and threw it when they opened mine. There’s no way they could read them.

My old director use to say I had the handwriting of a serial killer..

My hand writing has been atrocious since I was in third grade. I remember the girls in my class trying to help me write neatly... I think a nice handwriting comes naturally.. Like someone beaing able to draw.

I seriously feel embarrassed any time someone has to see my writing.

same with me...honestly, I seldom write anything anymore because there is an 80% chance that I can't read it later anyway.

Go to writing in all caps. Takes a couple weeks of thoughtfulness. But it's much easier to read

I have to print. When I sign my name on card you have to write a brief something on a letter I always feel embarrassed because it looks like a child. I can writing says something about maturity and that shakes out in my case

I changed mine my senior year of high school because a cheat sheet fell out of my pocket after a test. The teacher showed it to the class the day after the test. Said he was going to look into it. The test was multiple choice so he couldn’t compare, but anytime I had to do any writing in that class from that point forward I wrote in my new handwriting style so it wouldn’t match my cheat sheet.

I still write like that to this day. It’s actually much neater than my previous handwriting. It’s basically all capitalized letters with truly capitalized letters being larger.

pecker, this is pretty stupid. So no one had ever written before that test? If they wanted to find the culprit, it'd have been easy.

Yeah, of course. I didn’t have a lot of options though. It was early in the year and I don’t remember how much writing we had done prior to that. I’m pretty sure he made us write an essay the next class. I wasn’t going to roll in there with my standard handwriting like a bitch. I may have been a cheater but I wasn’t a quitter.

Nothing ever came of it.
